For a long time, I’ve been the person who showed up for everyone else first. This year, I’m learning what it looks like to show up for myself with the same energy. Inspired by Shonda Rhimes’ “A Year of Yes”, I decided to stop talking myself out of things that bring me joy, confidence, peace, and growth. That decision led me to book my very first photoshoot for my 31st birthday 🤗 It may seem like a small thing, but for me, it represents something much bigger: choosing myself, being seen, and embracing every version of who I’m becoming. This is the beginning of a new series where I’ll be sharing the moments behind the photos—the preparation, the fears, the excitement, the rest, the movement, and the experiences I’m finally saying yes to. Welcome to the Year of Yes with Sharnell ✨ And trust me… we’re just getting started. Thank you to @shona for encouraging me to say ‘Yes’ to myself! • • • • • #DearSelfCare #SelfCareAdvocate #ExplorePage #YearOfYes #GeminiSZN
